It's a tinkly laugh with a head tiltIs that a tinkly laugh or normal?
I was accused of child abuse for saying I let my then 8 year old watch the later Harry Potter moviesYou should have seen the replies when I mentioned my 7 year old had asked for jam sandwiches for packed lunch and I made them (her pal had them the day before, mother a teacher). I think if they knew my address I’d have had social services at my door. It happened twice in seven years and my daughter has so far not suffered.
God yeah, it's a ridiculously privileged bunch of people. Or they pretend to be. I think my favourite recent thread was the one about whether being on 60k made you 'well off.' A surprising number of posters were actually insisting that they were poor because they didn't have that much disposable income after paying for school fees and their £2000 mortgage payments, I kid you not.People who have the audacity to rent, earn minimum wage, not go to university, have a child in their teens - all are castigated by the mafiosi on there
I think it was quite london centric in the early days but I read recently they have over 100 million members now.Its very London centric, Apparently one time a poster who lived in rural Yorkshire was struggling to get into work and someone asked her why she didn’t just use the tube. I don’t think it’s goes that far North does it?
Yes, and so many of them have Au Pairs! I don’t know anyone in real life who has one. ‘AIBU my Au Pair made a mess in my kitchen and didn’t clean up’. Well how about you employ a proper Nanny with proper child care qualifications and not a teenager little older than the kids she’s looking after? Oh but then that you’d have to pay them the living wage wouldn’t you and give them ‘pocket money’.Ha ha! Yes, and on every thread about snoring husbands the majority of posters say 'can't you just sleep in the spare room?' What effing spare room?
I think it still can be, but a couple of the main “It’s done this way in London thus it is everywhere else too” royalty left and WorraLiberty, who used to be quite bad for it, has learnt that other places do things differently so you stand a much better chance of getting the thread started constructively rather than the London lot coming on to hijack it.I think it was quite london centric in the early days but I read recently they have over 100 million members now.
Mint Velvet, Toast, Boden. The answer to “What basics do I need?” is always a Breton topAnother thing is whenever someone asks where they can buy nice clothes from them and they always say Mint Velvet. Have you seen the prices at Mint Velvet?! It’s £60,00 for a basic top or shirt!
